Sketches

These are some sketches from a tarot card project that I'm working on.

El Toro Rojo Colored

This was a lot of fun to color. The mural in the background was a challenge. I liked el Toro Rojo so much that now I'm using him in a short story for a anthology. When I was in Mexico I saw a live Luchador match. It was hardcore! A ring was set up in the middle of a street and it was free to watch. These luchadors were jumping off houses and slamming heads into garage doors. They were really getting hurt, one guy split open his head diving off the top rope on to the concrete. He then started wiping blood on people in the crowd. It was awesome, and shocking. I think this experience is why I like luchadors. Well keep on luching.

El Toro Rojo

This is a cover that I am working on for a digital design issues class. The assignment is to find a old comic book character and revamp him. Then to make a comic cover using that character. I chose an old marvel character El Toro Rojo. I'm sure you remember him! He was a wrestler that fought Thor and got his trash kicked and was banished into a Inca totem. I love drawing luchadors. I'll post the colors soon.
